MarkSW, thanks for the response. Yeah pulling the line sounds like the way to go, do not want anyone getting zapped :shock:

I have the exact same issue, main light is leaking through the power cord, need a new fixture. Can you describe the process? Are you having the wire completely pulled and all new from fixture to circuit breaker? Or just cut old fixture off, splice in the new fixture and carry on? Regards,

Ok, I tried to get the light working again and now neither the pool or spa light work, maybe I fried the breaker?? So I have two options, let my buddy come over and help, and he says to splice the wire and hook up a thing and go to 12 volt...might be okay... Or I call someone. I live in Katy...

MGood, I have been running a SWG for about 6 months now and have no urge to switch. That being said a buddy of mine uses just chlorine and has a really nice pool as well. When I go out of town it is nice to know that the SWG will be adding chlorine to the pool while I am away, however I am...

Have you gone through the SWG manual and identified all the chemistry levels/parameters your salt cell needs to work with? Do not use the salt cell during the SLAM (actually it is probably fine, but you need to test for salt level first, SWG's only operate within a certain ppm salt range), you...

If you have the K-2006 then you have a perfectly good kit that is not too difficult to use, see link below for videos on some of the tests. The sooner you start working with the test kit the better, it takes abit of practice like anything, but its not overly difficult. You can always post back...

I will seal it up myself and report back...it has been raining off and on for days now so hopefully this coming weekend will get it done.

Working great for me so far, Ambient Weather has a bunch of stuff. http://www.amazon.com/Ambient-Weather-WS-19-8-Channel-Thermometer/dp/B00EYLG4L0/ref=sr_1_95?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1431872194&sr=1-95

The pool light had water inside about half way up, I pulled it out and water was coming out of fitting where the power cord goes through to the housing. Ideally I want to put LED bulbs in both pool and spa light fixtures. This looks like a do-it-yourself kind of job, I can pull it all apart...

Post moved to Everything Else section.

Thanks for the feedback, I will crack the main drain valve abit and see how that goes.

Regarding the suction from the pool, my suction is set to 100% skimmer...however a buddy of mine is telling me to adjust it to pull from drain as well. Some context: He does everything through Leslie's, tossed his SWG in the garbage when he moved into the newer house (those are **** he says)...

I can attest to the 'waiting awhile before adding borates' advice. My pH is still shooting up allot and I feel my total alkalinity was not where it should have been when I added the boric acid, making changes now is more difficult. So yeah, hold off on the borates for a good while. Regards.
